Album Review
Ragnar of Ravensfjord
Reviewed 2006-07-20
Straight-ahead heavy speed/death metal with strong similarity to Celtic Frost and Obituary. Though they have a little bit of their own thing, too. Vocals are mostly understandable. Solid headbangin’ action.
((((1)))) Battering, death/thrash metal, killer drumming.
((((((2)))))) Fast, blazing speed fucking metal!
((((3)))) Starts with traditional riff & GREAT screams + an TG Warrior-like “Oüh!”. Total insane & silly gang chours. “Drinking, slaying, thrashing-the glory of met-uhllll!”
(((4))) Rhythmic, catchy traditional metal with DM vocals. (FCC “Fucking” sung once)
((5)) Instrumental interlude, just * meh *
((((6)))) Pummelling, speedy, death metal, killer guitar work
(((((7)))) Wall of riffage, straight-ahead, mid-paced death groove.
(((((8))))) Backwards message translating to: This song kick ass! Full throttle raging mania!
(((9))) Basic, slogging forth semi-thrash/kinda death metal but not 100%. Boring chorus.
(((10)) Slicing thick riffs, very similar to Obituary.
